Mr and Mrs Quinn

'Just a note to say a huge thank you for all of your help and support both leading up to and during our wedding weekend at Hornington Manor. The Manor is such a special venue and it was everything we hoped and dreamed of and almost on our doorstep! It was especially lovely to be able to have the Manor for the whole weekend, it really did make our wedding extra special to be able to have that time with our friends and family. It also meant we were both very chilled out on the day. Everyone commented on what a wonderful venue Hornington is and how helpful everyone was, especially on the day. I cannot believe how smoothly the day ran and we know this was down to you all. Jo, thank you for all of your help in the months leading up to our wedding- you always answered mine (and mum’s) emails quickly and it was a pleasure to work with you. Thank you Simon for a excellent evening of wine tasting and showing us round on our first visit. The people at Hornington are a huge part of the reason why we fell in love with the venue- we both really wish we could do it all again.'

Mr and Mrs Fulton

'Simon, Hayley, Jo and the Team, I don’t know what to say. This weekend has been the best of our lives!! We could not have asked for more. Simon has been an absolute hero, dealing with everything and making it all look easy and relaxed (when we know it wasn’t!) we can’t thank you enough. All of our guests spent the day and night telling us what a beautiful venue this place is- we couldn’t agree more. Thanks for a magical weekend.'

Mr and Mrs Curtis

'We have just returned from our honeymoon in Dubai and Bali and wanted to drop you a note to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU! to you and your amazing team for giving us and our family and friends the best wedding weekend! Your advice, expertise and support helped to perfect our day. From the venue search nearly 2 years ago now (eeekkk!) and all supporting visits through to helping with the registrar, recommended suppliers, wine tastings and flawless execution on the day thank you so much for bringing our wedding vision to life. All our guests and suppliers couldn’t speak highly enough of you on the day and leading up to it and Dan and I felt very privileged to work with such an amazing team! As an events manager myself, it is sometimes hard to switch off especially when running your own event. However, I knew that our day was in the best hands and that peace of mind ensured that I was super relaxed all day! So from the bottom of our hearts thank you xx'

Mr and Mrs Simpson

'Hornington Manor as the perfect background to an amazing day. Being able to bring family from around the world and friends to a truly English setting and enjoy for 3 days was incredible.
If the house doesn't blow you away then the barn will. Topped off by the incredible Jo, onsite managing all our questions and requests to make things less stressful.
On the big day we could not praise Simon enough with his super powers of photography, bar management and making sure everything ran perfectly smoothly. Nothing was too difficult. Turning a 5 star venue in to a 6. Just an incredible location, an incredible venue and incredible people making sure that truly incredible memories are made.'

Mr and Mrs Noonan

'We cannot put into words how thankful we are for all of your hospitality, time and support that made our day so special. The running of the day was faultless, and Simon, your charisma and enthusiasm won everyone over and made us both feel at ease. Jo, from the moment we met you to book the wedding, we felt like we were welcome here at all times and you have always felt part of our family because of your kind and friendly nature. We cannot thank you enough. EVERYTHING was incredible! From the moment we arrived on Friday, you guided us and made us feel relaxed, to leaving on Monday. We wish we could do it all again!'

Mr and Mrs O'Neill

'Where can we start? You have all been beyond unbelievable. On Saturday I didn't have to stress about anything. Everything just slotted into place and was sorted out - I'm still not sure how some of the things actually got sorted as there were things I forgot to mention to anybody! We had the most fantastic day and evening and our guests were taken aback by how amazing Hornington is - everyone kept asking me how I managed to find this place! It is a beautiful place but it would be nothing without the amazing team that runs it. You all made it so easy and I loved planning it from start to finish - let me know if you need another wedding planner at any point in the future! It was so special to be able to extend our wedding day across the whole weekend and share it with all the people special to us. I wish we could do it all over again!'

Mr and Mrs Treherne

'We all had such an amazing time. Stunning venue all round from the grounds to the house to the barn. We couldn’t have asked for a better place or team to help with our wedding. Thank you so much to Jo and Simon for making everything so easy. Beautiful house, amazing to have all the family all together for the weekend. The barn was the perfect place for us to have our reception and jo and Simon made it a perfect experience. Would definitely recommend to anyone wo have their wedding here.'

Mr and Mrs Rowden

'Thank you so much for everything you all have done to make the weekend so special for us! We have had endless comments on how amazing the venue is and how lovely you al are! We have had the most amazing weekend!'

Mr and Mrs Grimwood

'Thank you so so much for contributing and making our wedding day the best day ever for us. Hornington Manor is such a stunning venue and you all clearly work so hard keep it that way. You were all fantastic leading up to the day and on the day. You made some delicious cocktails and were so helpful in helping set up and ensuring our day ran smoothly! We cannot thank you enough.'

Mr and Mrs Wyand

'We wanted to write a note to say how enormously thankful we are for all your enormous help over (and before) our wedding weekend. You really contributed to making it such a special day for us. Hornington Manor is such a beautiful venue that from it alone you could run a very busy and popular service. The fact that you all put in so much effort and give it your personal, kind and caring touch speaks a lot of your dedication. We have been very lucky and grateful recipients of your dedication and we are incredibly thankful for it.'

Mr and Mrs Wilson

'Thank you for making our wedding so incredibly special. From start to finish, you made everything so easy. Your relaxed friendly nature and professional approach helped us feel very much at home at the beautiful Hornington Manor. Needless to say, we wish we could do it all over again! The brilliant memories will have to do!'

Thanks also to Jo for all her help and speedy responses to our never ending list of questions over the past 2 years. We wish we could make it last forever but the memories will certainly last a lifetime.'

'We can never thank you enough for providing us with the perfect venue for our wedding and having the whole weekend to relax was just great, it made everything so much easier. All our guests loved their stay in the Manor and the reception barn was a clear winner with everyone. Thank you for all your help leading up to the day. The time and effort you put in clearly shows and we will remember it forever. (We didn’t want to leave on Monday!) You were so helpful on the day, everything ran like clockwork. We’re looking forward to reading our blog 😊 and thank you for our personalised vase, I didn’t see it properly until the Sunday morning, that was a lovely surprise. Thanks for everything.'
